The chemical and morphological properties of the organism were consistent with those of the genus Kineosporia. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain YIM 65293T and other type strains of recognized members of the genus Kineosporia were 97.0–98.2 %. However, the DNA–DNA hybridization values, in combination with differences in phenotypic characteristics, revealed that the strain differed from recognized species of the genus Kineosporia. Therefore, strain YIM 65293T represents a novel species of the genus Kineosporia, for which the name Kineosporia mesophila sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 65293T (=CCTCC AA 208061T=DSM 45271T).", }
